A thought I had as I fell asleep last night is to include the derivate
flags in a separate output column altogether. So
heap_tuple_infomask_flags() could be made to return two columns, one
with the straight one-flag-per-bit, and another one with the compound
flags. That way we always have the raw ones available, and we avoid any
confusion about strange cases such as LOCK_UPGRADED and IS_LOCKED_ONLY.
